Latest objdiff.sh to go with this:
$ cat objdiff.sh
#!/bin/bash
name=$1
pre=${name}.orig
post=${name}
function to_text {
obj=$1
( objdump -wdr $obj;
readelf -W --relocs --symbols $obj |
awk '/^Relocation section/ { $6=0 } { print $0 }'
) > ${obj}.tmp
}
to_text $pre
to_text $post
diff -u ${pre}.tmp ${post}.tmp
rm ${pre}.tmp ${post}.tmp
